Movie stars don't get much cooler than Paul Newman and Robert Redford, and two-man teams don't get any better than amiable outlaws Cassidy (Newman) and Sundance (Redford). We're not sure what we like best about this 1969 Western-comedy: the scene where Newman and Katherine Ross ride a bicycle to the tune of "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head," or the moment Newman wins a knife fight by saying he wants to talk about the rules and then delivering a swift kick to the groin.

The City of Chicago presents the 8th Annual Chicago Outdoor Film Festival. View seven weeks of classic films every Tuesday evening beginning July 17 through August 28, presented by The Chicago Film Office, a division of the Mayor's Office of Special Events and the Chicago Park District.
Now considered a Chicago tradition, this one-of-a-kind outdoor theater experience includes a gigantic screen (50' x 34') and a state-of-the art sound system. Movies begin at sunset in Butler Field, Grant Park at Lake Shore Drive and Monroe. Admission is free, thanks to the generosity of sponsors.
For Your Convenience
Cyclists can beat the traffic by biking! The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and the Mayor's Office of Special Events provides FREE Bike Valet Parking at all films. The valet is located on the northwest corner of Lake Shore Drive and Monroe Streets.
Sorry, no dogs are allowed at the Chicago Outdoor Film Festival because crowds are stressful to animals, even the most peaceful pup can become aggressive under these conditions. Love your pets by leaving them at home!
